Bran Banana Muffins Recipe

Several years ago I experimented with a banana muffin recipe by adding bran cereal. I loved the results and have been making this flavorful version ever since. Try replacing the chocolate chips and nuts with chopped dates for a delicious change of pace.

"These are just ok. I have had, and even made, much better bran muffins. If you don't like the combination of banana and chocolate, skip this one. They would be better without the chocolate chips. IMO."
